MOTAT celebrates retro gaming with ‘Game Changer’ Expo
MOTAT’s ‘Game Changer’ April school holiday experience will have the kids amazed as they learn how games and electronic entertainment has evolved over the years.
Stuck inside with the kids? Pack up the car and get down to MOTAT these school holidays to enjoy an interactive and fun filled expo where they will have hands on experience with ancient games, modern games, fads and crazes, and retro and modern gaming technology.
Tony O’Sullivan, Museum Experience Coordinator for MOTAT, says this experience will give kids a newfound appreciation for the technology available to them in the twenty-first century and have them asking questions about what role games play in their own lives.
“How and why games have changed so much over the years is a fascinating story and an educational journey kids will have lots of fun taking part in,” says Mr. O’Sullivan.
Enjoy a blast from the past with retro games and some old favourites including Pac-Man, Sonic the Hedge Hog and Super Mario Brothers.
The EB Games @ Play area will feature an array of retro computer games from the 70s, 80s and 90s through to the very latest in gaming technology with a brand new game, PlayStation Move Heroes. The game is packed with fun and mayhem with PlayStation icons Ratchet, Clank, Jak, Daxter and Sly joining forces in a series of galactic adventures.
Kids can sing and show off their guitar skills at the MOTAT ‘Talent Tent’ with SingStar Guitar on the PlayStation 3.
Game Changer kicked off April 16th and will finish up this weekend on Sunday, May 1st – if you’d like to win a family pass and a copy of PlayStation Move Heroes you can enter here.
